Here's who's supporting this in the Legislature
The lead sponsor, Rep. Alice Wolf, of Cambridge, is among the most
determined advocates of the homosexual lobby in the entire state. As our
MassResistance blog wrote
recently:
State Rep. Alice Wolf (D-Cambridge), designated "Honorary
Lesbian" by the Cambridge Lavender Alliance, is the chief sponsor of
House Bill 1641, which
would mandate K-12 "health" education for every public school student in
Massachusetts. Wolf is doing her best to spread the word that this bill is
just about teaching little children how to brush their teeth, and saving
older children from drug addiction and gang involvement.
Needless to say, the definition of "health" in the document of reference --
the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks -- has been dictated by assorted
libertines, Planned Parenthood abortion advocates, and homosexual
extremists. And they picked Rep. Wolf to be their lead sponsor for good
reasons.
Wolf was endorsed in 2004 by these
radical homosexual PACs:
MassEquality
MGLPC (Mass. Gay & Lesbian Political Caucus)
Freedom to Marry Coalition
OutSomerville
Cambridge Lavender Alliance (see above).
She's also been endorsed by Mass. League of Environmental Voters, the
Mass.Women's Political Caucus, and Mass. NARAL. Her other leftist awards
include the "Progressive Leadership Award" from the Commonwealth Coalition,
and the "Woman of Courage Award" from the Mass. chapter of the National
Organization of Women.
Wolf's homosexual activism goes way back. Formerly the Mayor of Cambridge,
she received the "Friends of the
Community Award" given by the Greater Boston Lesbian and Gay
Political Alliance in 1992 for her work in passing the Cambridge Domestic
Partnership Law.
In 2004, Rep. Wolf performed a "wedding" for a major homosexual activist
-- whose works are cited in the Massachusetts Health Curriculum Frameworks.
More.
In all, there are 39 co-sponsors! Most of them are a who's-who of
the pro-homosexual / Planned Parenthood / Teachers Union lobby in the State
House. They're certainly not people who generally think that parents know
better than left-wing bureaucrats about what's best for their kids.
But what's really disturbing are the pro-family reps also on
this list: Mark Carron and Richard Moore. for instance. We'll
need to get to the bottom of that. Obviously, there's some heavy lobbying
going on.
[NOTE: Rep. Paul Loscocco and Rep. Joyce Spiliotis are both listed as a
co-sponsors on the state website. Rep. Loscocco's office has informed us
that's a mistake; he's definitely not in favor of H1641/S102. Rep.
Joyce Spiliotis told us that after having reviewed it further, she is not in
favor of H1641/S102.]
This bill clearly has the fingerprints of Planned Parenthood and the rest
of the sex lobby on it. And they're the ones who get quoted in the paper
supporting it.
